Cos4Cloud project, with which NEANIAS is happy to collaborate, organises the online event 'Engaging the society beyond data collection' on September 16th, 12:00h – 15:00 (CEST). This workshop is aimed at all the communities interested in participatory coastal monitoring: Academia, industry (particularly SMEs), policy makers, and civil society (NGOs, local groups, environmental associations, schools, etc.).
At the event, several speakers will share their projects, experiences and best practices on engaging people to collect ocean data and beyond (e.g., validate it and analyse it, etc.).
